DESIGN GUIDE Design consideration for homes intended for field application of Platinum Series air conditioners or heat pumps Scope The purpose of this brochure is to describe the NORDYNE Platinum series concept and how it can affect the way manufactured housing manufacturers design and build homes. This brochure will define the characteristics of a Platinum-ready home along with recommendations for leveraging all of the advantages of the Platinum Series air conditioners and heat pumps.
Outdoor coil and fan Skirting Standard Nordyne down-flow furnace on Nordyne 14" round Plenum Connector Indoor coil located outside of living space under home To trunk ducts. Figure 1. Platinum Overview Platinum Overview The Platinum concept is an approach to manufactured housing HVAC that is different than what has been traditionally available. A Platinum Series air conditioner (AC) or heat pump (HP) is similar to a split system AC or HP except that the indoor coil is in the Platinum unit instead of being field installed in the furnace. See Figure 1. With the indoor coil located in the Platinum Series unit placed outdoors, there is no chance of condensate leakage in the home. Also, installation is simplified since there are no refrigerant lines to connect and no coil to install into the furnace. The vapor barrier as supplied by the home manufacturer is not compromised in the installation of the Platinum AC or HP. Further simplifying the installation of a Platinum Series unit is the fact that it is designed to be cord-connected, eliminating the need for an electrician in most cases. Using the Platinum Series concept also creates flexibility to improve HVAC design and lower the manufactured cost of the home. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Furnace Model Selection For a Platinum ready home, use an AC-ready 4-ton furnace. If a blower change-out or relay kit is field installed the AC or HP installation is more expensive and the installer will have to have access to the inside of the home. Alternately, if the size of the AC or HP is known by the home manufacturer, the furnace blower selection could be optimized. For example, if a gas home is known to be applied with a 3-ton AC, it is not necessary to use a furnace with a 4-ton blower. In this case, a furnace with a 3-ton blower is more economical. In all cases, the furnace must be AC ready and include a blower relay. NOTE: For 5-ton applications, blower change-out may still be needed if a furnace with 4-ton blower is installed by the home manufacturer. If it is known that a 5-ton AC or HP will be used, a furnace equipped with a 5-ton blower may be used. NORDYNE offers several models factory equipped with 5-ton blowers. For gas and oil furnaces, it is no longer necessary to use furnaces with integral coil cavities. NORDYNE gas and oil furnaces are available without the coil cavity. Return Air Options For gas and oil furnaces (except M2-series) the return air options are the same. For electric furnaces and M2-series gas furnaces, there are new options since there is no need to install a coil on the unit. The return air can now be located 2
2 examples of possible locations for return air grills Example of open wier return air opening Filter Filter Figure 2. Return Air Options for Electric Furnaces high in the wall, which will improve air distribution and reduce the furnace sound that could be transmitted through the return air grill. Also an open return air weir can be considered and would eliminate the return air grill all together. See Figure 2. Location The following factors should be considered to optimize furnace location: 1) If the unit can be located on an outside wall, the simpler, more cost effective through-the-wall Ventilaire can be used. 2) For gas and oil furnaces, the flue length may be minimized if the furnace is located on the outside wall. 3) Keeping the furnace close to the panel, (distribution box) can reduce cost, especially on electric furnaces. 4) Keeping the furnace location close to the intended location of the Platinum-Series AC or HP will reduce the requirement for flex duct and thermostat wire when installed. 5) The furnace does not need to be directly over a trunk duct. With the flexibility the Platinum Series brings, you may locate the furnace where it makes sense for the floor plan. Plenum Connector connection to the Platinum Series AC or HP. Installation of the 14 plenum connector is the same as for the traditional square connector except there is no connection to the duct system at the time of plenum installation. Thermostat All Platinum Series AC and HP models are designed to work with a standard 4-wire AC thermostat. In a Platinum-ready home, all thermostat cable is run by the home manufacturer - from the thermostat to the furnace and from the furnace to the Platinum unit location. The thermostat cable wired from the furnace to the Platinum unit location also includes an additional 6 feet of extra cable coiled and attached to the bottom of the home near the receptacle for use during Platinum unit installation. Reference Figure 3 for thermostat wiring. Since the installer of the Platinum unit might not enter the structure during installation, it is important to follow the color scheme shown in Figure 3. IMPORTANT! Notice that the red and white wires are joined with a wire nut at the end intended for the Platinum unit. This is required to allow for heat operation when a Platinum AC is used or if no AC or HP unit is used at all. Use the 14 round plenum connector to simplify 3

Typical Platinum Systems DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Duct GENERAL Beyond these specific points described below, the duct is designed using standard design principles. Use NORDYNE s Certiduct duct certification program to aide in the design and certification of the duct design. Floor Ducts In a Platinum-ready home design, the furnace is not directly on a duct trunk. See Figure 4. All trunks are equipped with 12 drop-outs (duct connectors) located where performance is maximized. Locating the dropouts at the center of a trunk generally provides the best performance, however, this must be balanced with the desire to minimize the length of flex duct required to connect to the Platinum at its intended location. Generally, it is a good idea to keep the drop-outs in the center 1/3 of the trunks, and, keep the length of flex duct required to no more that 25 feet for any single run. Platinum air conditioners and heat pumps have 2-12 supply connections for 12 flex duct. For homes with more than 2 main trunks, crossovers and/or wye connections are required to feed the smaller trunk(s). For homes with only one trunk, 2-12 drop-outs may be used or, in the case of homes where a small cooling and/or heating load is anticipated, the trunk may be 5
designed with only 1-12 drop-out. In this case, the installer of the Platinum AC or HP will be required to seal one of the supply connections at the unit using a kit available from NORDYNE. Over-head Ducts Overhead duct system design for a Platinum-ready home is the same as a traditional system except there are no attic cross-overs (in 2-section homes) and a standard down-flow furnace is used. See Figure 4. The overhead duct system connects to Platinum AC or HP through 12 flex duct that is routed from the attic to below the home through chases in each section of the home. For 3 or more section homes, the additional sections may be supplied with attic cross-overs or by splitting the 12 supply lines with wye connectors below the home. It is recommended that the length of flex duct required to reach the intended location of the Platinum AC or HP be included and compressed into the chase for shipment. The Platinum installer can then simply pull the flex down to make the connection to the Platinum unit. Alternately, fixed round or rectangular ducts can be used to connect the attic duct system to the bottom of the home. In this case, any suitable method may be used as long as the bottom of the duct terminates in a 12 round duct connection which can then be used to connect the Platinum unit. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Platinum Unit Although the manufacturer of the home does not install the Platinum air conditioner or heat pump, it is critical that the manufacturer carefully plans for and makes certain arrangements for installation. In the design of a Platinum-ready home, the intended location of the Platinum unit is predetermined and communicated to the retailer. The retailer is not required to install the Platinum unit in the intended location, but it will be much easier than installing it in another location. It is recommended that the home manufacturer include an outline of the Platinum unit on floor plans to insure that all involved are aware of the intended location.

Platinum Location Considerations 6
Platinum Power Supply A Platinum-ready home includes a specially designed approved receptacle and weather-proof cover located within 12 of the left edge of the intended location of the Platinum unit. This receptacle is to be located as low as practical. If the receptacle is mounted as low as possible even below floor level small location adjustments can be made during Platinum installation if required. All Platinum units (all sizes and efficiencies) are approved for installation on a branch circuit using 8- gauge wire protected by a 40-amp circuit breaker. In a Platinum-ready home, this circuit is supplied by the home manufacturer. Clearance Requirements The Platinum unit is installed partially under the home and therefore requires that area to be clear of supports, pipes, drains, traps, service connections, etc. Figure 5 shows the areas required to be clear at the intended location of the Platinum unit. Figure 6 shows the side view of a typical Platinum unit installation. Note that the I-beam is not a problem since the duct can be routed below the I-beam if needed. It is recommended that the home manufacturer mark the intended location of the Platinum unit on the home and in the set-up instruction to instruct the set-up personnel not to place supports or create other obstructions in that area. Power to the Platinum unit is supplied through this circuit and connected with a cord set supplied with the Platinum unit.

DESCRIPTION The NORDYNE fresh air wall vent system is designed to meet the fresh requirements of the HUD standard, paragraph 3280.103(b)(2), when applied in an outside wall of a furnace alcove or closet. Exception: This kit is not intended for use in alcove furnace installations when the return air path is through the furnace door. The wall vent system allows fresh air from outside to enter the home by using the negative pressure of the indoor blower in the furnace alcove or closet. It allows the passage of air through a highly sensitive valve which opens slightly while the blower is operating and closes under its own weight to avoid drafts. LOCATION The VentilAire Fresh Air Wall Vent system MUST be located in the outside wall of the furnace alcove. It may be located behind an appliance provided a minimum clearance of 2" is maintained between the appliance and the wall. NOTE: The actual location of the vent may be subject to other rules or codes applicable to the home in question. Compliance with these codes is the responsibility of the installer. INSTALLATION Separate the two halves of the vent assembly and remove the extension sleeve. Note: Ignore if one end is marked INSIDE and one OUTSIDE. This applies to another type application. It is important that the NORDYNE logo is located at the top and the half with the sensitive flapper valve be located on the outside of the home. If the wall is between 3 5 /8" and 5 1 /2" in overall thickness, do not use the extension sleeve. Discard it. The sleeve must be used if the wall is between 5 1 /2" and 8" thick. If it is determined that the extension sleeve is needed, slide it into the larger tube stub and tape it in place with duct tape, so that it will overlap the smaller tube stub at least 1 /2" when mounted in the wall.! WARNING: Disconnect main power supply before drilling through the wall. Electrical wiring may be present. 1. Drill a pilot hole through the wall from the outside of the house, being careful to avoid wall studs or other obstructions. Next, cut a 4 1 /8" diameter hole through both walls. 2. Apply caulking or an appropriate sealant around the base of the tube on the OUTSIDE vent half and insert it into the wall from the outside (with the extension sleeve taped in place, if needed). Use the four (4) wood screws provided to secure it to the wall. 3. From the inside of the house insert the INSIDE vent half in a similar fashion. Caulking may be omitted, if desired. Note: The outside sleeve slips into the inside sleeve. O'Fallon, MO 708087F 7080870 7080870 Specifications and illustrations subject to change without notice and without incurring obligations.

USER'S MANUAL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS P3B (A,C) Series 10 and 12 SEER Single Package Air Conditioner IMPORTANT Read this owner information to become familiar with the capabilities and use of your appliance. Keep this with literature of other appliances where you have easy access to it in the future. If a problem occurs, check the instructions and follow recommendations given. If these suggestions don t eliminate your problem, call your installing contractor or distributor in your area. INTRODUCTION Most any air conditioner will keep you cool. Our air conditioner was designed to do it efficiently. Efficiency means less cost to you while keeping you comfortable. WHY YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS SO WELL, SO QUIETLY 1. Air is cooled by a large evaporator coil. Moisture is also removed from the air by this same coil. 2. Air is then delivered through the main duct, via registers, into your home. 3. Return air is drawn through the return grille. 4. This air enters the unit, passes through the evaporator coil, is cooled and dehumidified. Then the cycle begins again.
SECTION 1. OWNER INFORMATION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To Turn On Air Conditioner 1. Set the system switch to "Cool." 2. Set the thermostat at the temperature level you desire. 3. Your air conditioner should start as soon as room temperature rises above the setting on the thermostat. To Shut Off Air Conditioner 1. Turn the system switch to "Heat" or "Off." 2. Turn the thermostat to the desired heating temperature setting. BEFORE YOU CALL A SERVICEMAN Check your system at the start of each air conditioning season. Make sure it's working right, clean or change filters and make any needed adjustments. In addition, follow these simple rules: 1. Never run your system without a filter. If you do, the cooling coils will collect dirt and may become clogged. 2. Set your thermostat at the comfort level you wish -- and then leave it alone. Let it control the operation of the air conditioning system. If you get chilly, turn it up a degree at a time until comfort is restored. 3. It takes longer for an air conditioner to cool your dwelling than it does for your furnace to heat it. So... don't turn the unit on and expect a dramatic drop in temperature, at least not right away. If your home is hot and humid, the temperature will drop slowly. 4. Check your filters every 30 days in summer to see if they are dirty. To keep them clean, use a mild solution of detergent and water on washable types. Replace non washable filters. 5. Keep your outdoor condenser coil clean. You can hose it down when it gets dirty. If your air conditioner isn't working: 1. Make sure the fuses are not blown or that your circuit breakers are on. 2. See that your thermostat is set at the desired temperature and that your system's switch is on "Cool." 3. For best air flow, make sure your return grille is not covered and that the filter is clean. 4. Check the outdoor condenser coil and make sure it is clean and not clogged with grass or leaves. If your air conditioner still isn't working, call your nearest distributor. SECTION 2. INSTALLER INFORMATION GENERAL Read the following instructions completely before performing the installation. These instructions are for the use of qualified personnel specially trained and experienced in the installation of this type of equipment and related system components. Some states require installation and service personnel to be licensed. Unqualified individuals should not attempt to interpret these instructions or install this equipment. The single packaged air conditioners are designed for outdoor installation only and can be readily connected into the high static duct system of a home. The only connections needed for installation are the supply and return ducts, the line voltage, and thermostat wiring. The single package air conditioner is completely assembled, factory wired, and factory run tested. The units are ready for easy and immediate installation. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK Before any installation is attempted, the cooling load of the area to be conditioned must be calculated and a system of the proper capacity selected. It is recommended that the area to be conditioned be completely insulated and vapor sealed. The installer should comply with all local codes and regulations which govern the installation of this type of equipment. Local codes and regulations take precedence over any recommendations contained in these instructions. Consult local building codes and the National Electrical Code (ANSI CI) for special installation requirements. 2
The electrical supply should be checked to determine if adequate power is available. If there is any question concerning the power supply, contact the local power company. Inspecting Equipment: All units are securely packed at the time of shipment and, upon arrival, should be carefully inspected for damage. Claims for damage (apparent or concealed) should be filed immediately with the carrier. INSTALLATION (For Platinum Series ready homes) 1. LOCATE THE 40 AMP BRANCH CIR- CUIT DISCONNECT RECEPTACLE AND DISCONNECT COVER LOCATED OUT- SIDE ON ONE OF THE OUTER WALLS OF THE HOME. Locate the unit within the reach of the Power Cord assembly and branch circuit receptacle. Create a solid, level position, preferably on a concrete slab or plastic pad (use NORDYNE P/N-903897 or equivalent) and slightly above grade level, located where the skirting channel across top of unit is directly under bottom edge of wall. (See Fig. 1) Minimum clearances to obstructions. (See Fig. 1) 2. UNPACK THE UNIT It is recommended that the unit be unpacked at the installation site to minimize damage due to handling. a. Remove the bands from around the unit. b. Unfold the top and bottom cap flanges. c. Carefully remove the top cap and tube.! CAUTION: Do not tip the unit on its side. Oil may enter the compressor cylinders and cause starting trouble. If unit has been set on its side, restore to upright position and do not run for several hours. Then run unit for a few seconds. Do this three or four times with five minutes between runs. 3. INSTALL THE RETURN AND SUPPLY AIR FITTINGS ON THE UNIT The supply and return fittings are shipped in the supply duct. They attach to the unit openings with a flange and bead arrangement, secured with two sheet metal screws. Note: For ease of access, install fitting before positioning unit in final location. SUPPLY DUCT Position the supply duct collar so the edge of the unit openings fit between the flange and the bead. Overlap the collar ends keeping the small screw holes underneath. Align the holes in the crimped area and install one screw. Tap collar as necessary to ensure engagement with unit opening and install second screw. Tighten first screw.

IN THE DUCT SYSTEM. ALSO, DUCTS WHICH ARE COLLAPSED OR RESTRICTED BY FOREIGN OBJECTS WILL PREVENT ADEQUATE AIR FLOW. CONNECTING THE RETURN AND SUPPLY AIR FLEXIBLE DUCTS a. Use 12 duct to connect unit to the home duct system. (See Fig. 2 and 3) b. Use 14 duct to connect unit to furnace. (See Fig. 2 and 3) c. The flexible ducts can be connected to the corresponding fittings with the clamps provided with the ducts. Note: All connections should be leak tight or a loss in cooling capacity will result. d. The flexible ducts may be cut to the required length, see instructions packed with duct. Keep all ducts as short and straight as possible. Avoid sharp bends. e. Ducts may be spliced with sheet metal sleeves and clamps. f. Once the inner duct is connected to the proper fitting, the insulation and plastic sleeve should be pulled over the connection and clamped. g. For homes with multiple supply ducts or for special applications, a Y fitting is available to divide the supply air so it can be ducted to different areas of the home for more efficient cooling. Note: The Y fitting should be insulated for maximum performance. CONDENSATE DRAIN A 3/4 condensate drain connection is located on the side of the unit below the electrical compartment. A field supplied condensate drain should be installed. Route the condensate to a suitable drainage area. Any connecting tube or hose must have the outlet below the fitting on the unit for proper drainage.! WARNING: Turn off electrical power before servicing controls. Severe electrical shock may result unless power is turned off. Unit must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 1. ELECTRICAL SERVICE HIGH VOLTAGE a. An approved branch circuit disconnect receptacle of adequate size and disconnect cover per NEC has already been installed at the intended location of the unit on one of the four exterior walls of the home. b. Attach the approved Power Cord/Disconnect Plug (NORDYNE P/N-903899) to the unit using a strain relief connector (Romex type or equivalent) through the high voltage knockout provided. c. Extend the power cord leads up into the control panel and connect L1 (Black) and L2 (White) directly to the contactor lugs provided. (See Fig. 4) d. Ground the air conditioning unit by attaching the power cord ground wire (Green-w/ eyelet) to the unit using the green grounding screw provided in the control panel. (See Fig. 4) LOW VOLTAGE a. Low voltage wiring from the indoor furnace and thermostat will be located under the home near the branch circuit receptacle and cover. Route the 24V control wires through the low voltage sealing grommet. (See Figure 4) b. Connect the low voltage control wires to the leads in the low voltage compartment as shown in Figure 4 and 5. 2. OVERCURRENT PROTECTION In general, the best fuse or breaker for any air conditioner is the smallest size that will permit the equipment to run under normal use and service without nuisance trips. Such a device, sized properly, gives maximum equipment protection. The principal reason for specifying a time delay type is to prevent nuisance trips when the unit starts. In the event that a fuse does blow or a breaker trips, always determine the reason. Do not arbitrarily put in a larger fuse or breaker and do not, in any case, exceed the maximum size listed on the data label of the unit. 4
